In Com am m, mn n ted

NEW YORK, March l6.-A gentleman
known to be in the confidence of Alfred
sully tonight volunteered the following
statement: The Baltimore and Ohio mat.
ter is in abeyance. There are really no
new Developments and probably there
will not be for some time. Such traus.
action as this one, that has been given
SO much publicity, cannot be carried
through in day or q week, and If sud.
denly consummated would, perhaps,
have bad effect upon securities gener.
ally in this unsettled condition of the
market. Large properties cannot be
acquired without an investigation into
their condition and all the surrounding
circumstances, and it is not to be sup.
posed that any transactions of this ma
ture could diffsr from the natural laws
OF business. If anything is done 10 this
matter it will take time TO carry it out
and there cannot be any result reached
for the present.
PHILADELPHIA, March l6. - The
Ledger Tomorrow will say: In reference
to the matter of the sale Of the majority
of the common stock of the Baltimore
end Ohio railroad, which carries with it
the control of that company, we are in.
formed by an authority that is direct
from President Robert Garrett, that in
the proposed sale the interests of the city
of Baltimore and the maintenance Of the
trade of that city are to be fully cared
for by placing the Baltimore and Ohio
railroad at the head Of q new railway
combination which will enlarge and i'm.
prove the southern and western trade
regulations of that city, and also to that
extent aid in improving the commercial
relations of Philadelphia. We are fur
ther informed that, whilst the original
arrangement by which MIR. Alfred Sully
might have had control of the new COM
bination was not carried out, Mr.. Gar
rett has at present another arrangement
satisfactory to himself with q syndicate
OF railway managers and bankers.
who have already fixed upon the
price to be paid for the stock and
the terms OF payment. But certain de-
tails are yet to be arranged, which will
fully protect the shareholders of the
railway and the material interests of the
city of Baltimore, and also secure an
outlet and an Independent ard untram-
meled line through to New York. In
the new arrangement the Baltimore and
Ohio railroad, go far from losing its
identity south, will be at the head of
the combination, withMr Garrett as exec.
utive chief of the organization. We are
also assured that the Baltimore and Ohio
telegraph lines will not be permitted to
pass under the control OF the Western
Union Telegraph Company, or under the
control of Mr.. Jay Gould, in any form or
under any circumstances. At the same
time, the independent telegraph system
which will be maint ntained will have ar
rangements with other independent lines
that will extend the territory covered
and the efficiency of the service. The
adjustment of all these details will prob.
ably take considerable time, and will
not be permitted to be consummated in
hurry, SO thai everything may be
placed upon some basis satisfactory to
the shareholders of the company. and to
the public interests.
